Sebastian IB student named Student of the Month

VERO BEACH — The Rotary Club of Orchid Island is pleased to announce that its October Student of the Month is Brittany Evans, of Sebastian River High School.

Brittany is an outstanding student academically and athletically. In addition, she is a proven leader in school and community activities.

She achieved a weighted 4.8 grade point average, while enrolled in the challenging and prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Some of her high level IB classes include Calculus, Contemporary History, Biology, Spanish, English and Theory of Knowledge.

Her intellect earned her scholastic honors including straight A’s every year of high school and also the designation of Advanced Placement Scholar with Honor.

But she is more than a brainiac. She is also an athlete. She has been an active member of the Sebastian River High School varsity lacrosse team (serving as co-captain) and also the varsity soccer team.

Brittany is very involved in school organizations such as Interact Club, Masterminds, Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), It’s in the Bag, Gay-Straight Alliance and Mu Alpha Theta (mathematics honor society), where she served on the leadership committee.

Incredibly, she also found time to volunteer as the assistant coach for the Sebastian Middle School lacrosse program.

Brittany credits her mother as being one of the most influential people in her life.

“My mom has guided me the most during my life because she was always there when I needed help on my homework as a kid and whenever she could as I began to grow up. She also helped me pursue the IB diploma,” she said.

She hopes to attend Johns Hopkins University next fall and major in chemistry or another science field.

We are proud to honor this stellar young woman as Student of the Month.
